Social Media Marketing is the new buzzword for online internet entrepreneurs.

At times this may seem overwhelming, but if you start with YouTube, an article site such as Ezine, you can integrate your efforts to where your presence on the Internet is found in many areas. The more presence in various sites you can create, the greater your opportunity to increase traffic to your web site. When your traffic grows to 50 or more people per day, you hit a point of critical mass which explodes your internet business.

The more relevant key words you have in your video’s description, the greater your chance of YouTube viewers finding your video.

Another important factor is to provide your new social marketing friends the information they need to be successful without pitching your primary businesses. As your new found friends become successful, they will grow to trust you as a leader who is interested in their success. They will want to know what you do and eventually you can invite them to join if they desire.

Your website can then give them an opportunity to find out what further tools you have to offer to give them the success they are seeking.

Your emarketing system needs to have many avenues that draw people to you.

The following lists distinctive aspects of a home based business that you should consider:

1. Primary Prospecting Source: Internet, Phone, or Direct Mail

  • Sales of specific products, such as books, vitamins, software, fitness programs, educational materials, etc.
  • Services, including lead list generation, search engine optimization, web site design, mentoring, success coaching, etc.
  • Business opportunity or affiliate program, such as multi-level marketing (MLM), tiered matrices, direct sales, network marketing, social media marketing, etc.
  • If you have a product you created or a service you perform very well, the internet is the best place to market it to prospects. You can even use the internet as your foundation (or hub) and incorporate aspects of phone and direct mail to round out your reach if you have a system in place to do so (or family/friends willing to help).

    If you do not have your own product or service, you can choose to sell someone else’s material (ClickBank, Ebay, Amazon, etc.) or get involved in an online business opportunity that matches your personality from introvert (MLM, matrix, etc.) to social butterfly (direct sales, success coaching, social marketing, etc.). The internet is uniquely positioned to reach over 1.5 billion people in over 150 different countries. You can choose to go after the impulse shopper by saturating the free classifieds areas, or you can choose to slowly win the trust of your big spenders through social media, personal branding, lead filters, and auto-responders. If you have a lot of money to start and can spend $300 per day, then you can jump right in with your own Google AdWords campaign, where the vast majority of successful internet entrepreneurs advertise. But if you are operating on a very limited budget, you may want to start on the free and very effective social marketing path until you can slowly transition from free to paid advertising.

    There are positives and negatives to all the business models that support any particular internet marketing path, so be sure to follow this simple rule: The positives should match closest to your personality while the negatives should be the opposite of your personality.
